[0005] The size of the frame cabinet is limited, and the number of disk devices installed in the limited internal space determines how much data support the mainframe can obtain. Computers can meet today's demands only if they can process a lot of data in a short time. However, in the prior art, since the FD device 23 of the desktop computer is 3.5 "or 5.25" standard, the data that can be stored / output by one unit is at most 1.5 MB, and the erection type frame is used. Since there is a certain limit to the space in which the FD device 23 of the cabinet can be accommodated, and the total amount of data that can be supplied within the same time by the FD device 23 of the desktop computer is limited, a large number of one-board main frames 12 can Even if the analysis and calculation work can be performed, the FD devices 23 cannot supply relatively sufficient data, and therefore, the one-board mainframe 12 cannot fully function. As can be seen, the function of the one-board mainframe 12 can be improved by increasing the data supply as much as possible under the predetermined objective conditions (space of a fixed size). is there.
